🧩 The 'Changing' Pattern
In this text, we see a common A2 pattern: Action → Reason.

- Example A: One player is hurt so the team needs a new player.
- Example B: Ohio State got a new player because another player left.

- Changing (making something different)
- Moving (going to a new place/position)
- Replacing (putting a new person in the old person's spot)
